I went to visit my neighbor the other night, and sitting on her coffee table were some pixie elves from the 50's and 60's. Oh my goodness, I was immediately transported to Christmases long ago. Grandmom always hung those elves on the tree and created a "centerpiece" out of them on top of the TV with them sliding down a snow covered hill (white cotton sprinkled with glitter covering a a few small boxes )
I've been thinking of them ever since.... they mean Christmas to me! They are definately not my style of decorating but just seeing them put a huge smile on my face. I wonder where I could find one or two of them, just to have sitting on my desk or placed somewhere where I could see them and have me tak a momentary trip back to the charmed Christmases of my childhood.
What takes you back? Is there a certain song, movie, decoration, food?
